US EditionPro-lifers protest law attacking conscience protections in Australia
- On May 7, 2025, approximately 10,000 people, including clergy and former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, gathered near New South Wales Parliament to protest a Greens-sponsored abortion bill.
- The protest responded to Bill 2025, introduced by Greens MP Amanda Cohn in February, which aims to expand abortion access and compels healthcare workers with conscientious objections to facilitate abortions.
- Participants expressed concern the bill would force Christian hospitals and healthcare workers to violate their principles or leave the system, and criticized the bill’s rushed passage and impact on freedom of conscience.
- The bill was approved by the NSW Legislative Council with a 24-16 vote on May 7 and is scheduled for consideration in the House of Assembly on May 13, while pro-life supporters have pledged to actively oppose it in key electoral districts throughout the coming 18 months.
- The large protest reshaped political discourse on reproductive rights in New South Wales, signaling ongoing contention over abortion law reforms and conscience protection in healthcare.
